[Disco]

The first week of August is precisely the time frame I was hoping for, as I am going for both meets again this year. weeks later could still be possible, but for my purposes this would be most realistic.

[scotch]

I don't mind about the dates or location. It seems that the main cost here is going to be the rental, especially in August... as long as that doesn't go too high I'll most probably be there

[AGA]

Most of the places I've looked at so far are in the £100-150 per person per week region. Obviously the smaller the place, the less expensive it'll be. I'll work out a price once I know how many people are coming.

[Privateer Puddin']

First week of August should be fine for me.

[Radiant]

Yay! I'm in.

[m0ds]

I'd definitely like too, I'll need to get a better grasp of how much it's going to cost this year though before I can give a definite answer

[Dave Gilbert]

What Mark said.  I'm definitely up for going, as I'll probably be in Europe anyway.

-Dave

[Nacho]

Count with two more! France is close, I have car, license, and lots of spare time.

(Oh, with "two more", I meant Lore and me).

[Disco]

Oh right, my sister Kayla might be with me at some point, and would be interested if there is room. She had the same exposure to adventure games I had growing up, so wouldn't be lost.

[Dave Gilbert]

Oh yeah, and to add another to the significant other bandwagon, my gf might join up for a while.  She's in the game industry herself and has already met a few AGSers, so she'd fit right in.  If space is an issue we can grab a hotel.

[vict0r]

I'd love to go as a first-timer More info about prices and stuff would be nice, but put me up as a probable!

[m0ds]

I will be bringing my lawyer 

[Layabout]

A yes from Layabout

[GarageGothic]

I'd love to go. In fact, until this was posted, I thought Mittens was still scheduled for Canada and was just about to sign up for Brittens instead. However, it all depends on my girlfriend's plans for the summer (including a family wedding which we don't know the date of), so I can't say anything definite yet. But please add me to the "very interested" list.

[Esseb]

Sure, I'm interested, assuming work doesn't rear its ugly head again with another conflicting deadline. Shouldn't be a problem this year.

[Pumaman]

I'll be there!

However, I've been noticing that the prices for renting places seem to increase significantly in mid-July. So, considering that France is likely to be a more costly meet than Ireland, would it make sense to consider flipping the dates round, so that Mittens would be in late June / early July to take advantage of the cheaper rental prices, and Brittens could be in late July or August (which would make it more expensive, but probably not as much as mittens would be cheaper)?

[Grundislav]

I wouldn't miss it for the world.  Count me in!

[Ghormak]

I'll be there!*


*If I have money and time, which I think I do!

[Pumaman]

I wouldn't miss it for the world. 

But would you miss it for ... a big wad of cash?!?


Oh, I hope it's ok if I bring my mate Bob along. He's a right character, and he's usually got a few balaclavas and baseball bats with him because of his "work", which could make for some fun summer sports.
